SEM paint works well.

2 step process and if done right lasts for a long time. A friend of mine did his vinyl Mustang seats this way and they have been looking good for about 5 years and going strong.

Either I'd save up the money and go leathers for most part and/or do like Nightshade said. Vinyl Dye is a waste of money I think, Repaint is cheaper and more effective.

damn.. that interior looks ALOT nicer than the beige one i have. i never understoof why honda chose a beige interior for the white accords. black would have been so much better. that car looks like a new honda... maybe the stering wheel helped alot too. is that the s2000 wheel???

yeah thats the s2000 wheel only fits 96-97 accord.....i guess in 96 they changed to a new airbag system....so it wont work in 94-95 i mean if u dont want air bags then all good it will fit.....

I wish I had the time and patience to do mine all black. I have beige, and it would be hella time consuming to make it ALL black, but my god, that makes it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better looking.
